I think it's usage as real geometry learning tool is very limited. You can even see in the video that the children are wondering what the animation is after completing the puzzles. Fortunately the educator sees this explains it to the boys.
This is not surprising as Maria Montessoris understanding of geometry and pre-numeric Math is nowadays considered to be quite poor.
The usage as a stop-go animation machine seems to be fun, they seem to enjoy it. I've worked with children almost twice as old and they were quite confused about the concept of how to create a stop-go animation, so i'd like to have a similar machine in my school.
